At home...

Ironically I was talking to my boss a few weeks back and realised I hadn't been off for more then a long weekend in forever...Then I also realised that my Day Care was going to be closed for a whole week...Yikes.. What does a mommy do with no child care...
Work from home!

I am at home with Grace this whole week!
It's fun but very demanding to be on the computer while she pulls on my leg because she wants me to play and keep her busy. Not to mention the laundry, dishes and everything else I feel compelled to accomplish...I am home after all!

This morning I was washing dishes when Grace ...let's do it this way..
"Mommy, I need a bench"
"Ok...here you go"
"Thanks Mommy"
Then there was quiet followed by water dripping...
Thought process...What have I done....
I walk to the bathroom and there she was on the toilet doing her business!
I know... I am super proud too!
She has been potty trained for many months but I am usually told it's time to go and I have to follow, pull down, wipe and pull up...

What a great moment that she did it all by herself and kept it up for about 10 times after that!

That's all I had today...
Enjoy the sun and hope it's here to stay!

Keepin' busy

I have had a few really bad days, a few not too bad and always lots of better days. I got more bad news from WCB and almost instantaneously my neck went out. When I say my neck was out you may not think much of it but with me that means my first 4 vertebrae are out not properly aligned. This is directly linked to my MS symptoms. Later that day, I was dizzy, I had no energy to move from my chair. I was in pain. I was mad. I had a horrible day but I was busy so I kept trying to work. Never the best idea when your health is on the line. Being year end at work I know how many things there are to do so I hung in there and waited 1 whole week to go see my dear Dr. Kale. After a week of not sleeping, being so angry (anger with me seems to be my first sign that my MS is on the Fritz. I just get so angry. I could literally pick up my pen by the wrong end and it would make me want to hit a wall) I was so happy to be at the clinic. 4 minutes on my belly and BOOM! I felt like a million dollars! As soon as I left there I went to work and was actually able to concentrate and do work. I am grateful that there are people who concentrate their efforts on learning what can help make others feel and be better. Most of us would be ...where would you be without these great people who are there to help... Think about it!

What a week...

...And it's only Wednesday! I thought WCB was getting better...then I got a call and it stressed me out all over again! Within minutes of hanging up the phone I was upset, stressed out and then my MS adjustment went all out of whack so I need to see the chiro! I have said many times that my Upper Cervical Care is a miraculous thing and it truly is! The second it's not properly aligned I feel horrid. I have been very busy and not able to get in to see Dr. Kale and I miss him dearly!! I have been dizzy, unable to focus properly, sore, not sleeping - almost like I am drunk...just not functioning. So so strange! WCB promised me they would be acting as my legal representative to collect funds from the 3rd party insurance company for funds lost, moneys owed to chiro and pain and suffering. On Monday I was told that yes they do act as legal representative IF I am not a government employee. I am now having to fight a whole new battle with Federal Employee Compensation and I have been told that they may choose not to do anything depending on my case and that they won't be able to say for sure if they will accept my file for 8 - 10 weeks. Can you believe this? As for me on the bright side...you know there is always a bright side in my world! Grace has been Crazy!!! She is getting so big, so silly and just keeping Mark and I on our toes! We went to the fabric store last night and she found Handy Manny fabric. He is a Disney character that she constantly claims to have his baby in her belly...so I agreed to get her 1 yard of fabric to make something. She chose a pillow case to "always sleep with him". So Fun! Today, I also had my first Scentsy party. I was a bit nervous at first but I found my groove and it was a blast! It was held at the drop-In for staff as a brown bag lunch. Together they purchased for over $800 and I will in turn make a donation of $100 back to the Drop-In! I like the idea of giving the host the option of making a small donation to a charity of their choice. This way everybody wins! Thanks for having me guys!
